It's not Steam setting the price, it's 2K (and the other publishers for other games). It's €50 everywhere in Europe, even on the French and German Amazons. UK Amazon on the other hand, has it for £27, which is only €35!

That may be but steam do turn $1 into 1€

Seems to be the European online price. GMG sent me an email with a 25% off voucher the other day suggesting I pre order.

Wish I'd taken the offer up now, it expired on the 18th

They sent me that offer too but it expires on the 25th.

Is the code limited to your use only,or can anybody use?

37.50 doesn't seem too bad compared to the full price.

Just pre ordered on amazon.

Wow, overnight it's dropped to £25 :eek:

Alright, **** it, I'm buying. And with Amazon's price guarantee thingie, who knows how much cheaper it will get.

€33 on Nuuvem at the moment, no mention of region locks and it includes the Exoplanets preorder bonus. Personally I'd pay the extra euro (and it may drop in price in the next while) for DDL over waiting for Amazon to ship.

JohnK · 24-08-2014 10:10am

I could have this wrong but don't Amazon usually ship a few days early for preorders so they arrive on the release date? Could have sworn that's what they did for GTA anyway.

ZeitgeistGlee · 24-08-2014 10:15am

I've found that a bit hit and miss before, probably most so because of An Post. It's why I prefer DDLs because then your physical location is irrelevant.

If the game releases on a tuesday you use first class and parcel motel,amazon will send it Monday and you will have it by tuesday ,if its released on Friday you could have it by Friday or saturday if you use first class shipping and pm.

Civ 5 was the only reason I had windows installed and I removed it when the Linux port came a few months ago.

Looking at the web there are articals saying that there will be Linux port of Beyond Earth but no dates

Edit:

It's going to be the same as with Mac. A third party will port the game over to Linux (the same company that has been porting it over to Mac all these years). So keep an eye on what Aspyr Media are saying.

Hmmm.. I dunno. Hate to say it but I'm less impressed than I thought I'd be.

I know it's still in active development but it just feels like a mod for Civ 5 rather than a new game

Dermighty · 05-09-2014 9:11pm

A little over €29 now, still no region lock and comes with exoplanets.

It's region locked to purchase it which a proxy will get around, but did anyone buy it and need to use a VPN to activate it

It would say if it was specifically region locked in Steam (like Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for example). I've been using a proxy to get around Nuuvem's own region block for months and never had any issue with any of the games I've bought (15-18+ at this point).

Yeah, I've bought a few games from them and FM2014 was the only one i needed to use a VPN to activate. Just wanted to make sure the scale of the effort before i buy

Yeah I knew there was another big one related to sport but I couldn't remember what it was.

Bought it myself just to test and it's gone into my account without issue, won't get they key until the 24th but it was the same way with Total War: Rome II IIRC.

Manach · 25-09-2014 6:07pm

Tending now to get via Amazon's Online Game code. It seems cheaper than Steam's price.

Thecageyone · 25-09-2014 7:58pm

A lot cheaper on amazon! €34.50 Vs €49.99 on Steam!

I'm only mildly interested, not sure if I'd get my money's worth out of it yet. Will wait and see some reviews.

bleg · 25-09-2014 11:29pm

Preordered on Amazon. I just get the game code and work away yea? What's the catch?

Kunkka · 01-10-2014 4:37pm

Considering the amount of time I've put in to Civ V I'll be getting this for sure.

Generic Dreadhead · 10-10-2014 3:47pm

Getting super excited for this now... eeeeee!!!!

ZeitgeistGlee · 10-10-2014 7:24pm

Just realised the Monday following the release is a bank holiday.

Any of you have preferred factions/ideologies so far?
